Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, has given birth to a baby
girl, royal officials said Saturday.
Kensington Palace said a
brief statement that Kate "was safely delivered of a daughter" at 8:34
a.m. London time (0734 GMT), less than three hours after she was admitted to a
hospital.
The baby weighs 8 pounds
3 ounces (3.7 kg). The palace added that Kate and her child are both doing
well, and that William was present for the birth.
The princess is fourth in
line to the throne and the fifth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II. The statement said that
senior royals have been informed, and "are delighted with the news."
Kate, who wed William in
April 2011, gave birth to Prince George at the same hospital in July 2013.
Prince William's wife Kate entered a London hospital Saturday to give
birth to their second child, igniting a national wave of anticipation and a
last-minute betting spree on the name of the new prince or princess.
